I received this blog award from Lori at "Everyday Blessings." It's been a LOOOONG time since I've had a blog award so this is SUPER special! Thank you LORI!!

Here are the rules for the award:

~Thank the person who nominated you and link to their blog.

~Copy the award and paste it to your blog.

~Tell us 7 interesting facts about yourself.

~Nominate 7 bloggers that you love and link to their blog.

~I was once signed with a record company. It was a small company and I didn't go through with it becuase I was still in high school (but I still love to sing).
~My favorite boy name is Carter. It was my mom's maiden name. However, if I ever have a son he probably will not be named that as it's NOT a fav of the DH. (Maybe I can get a middle name out of it) :)
~ DH and I met on the internet!
~ I spent 3 months at a children't home in Mississippi, volunteering. It was an AWESOME experience! I learned a lot and all of those children will always hold a special place in my heart.
~ I enjoy 13 yr olds (That's interesting, right)? I teach 8th grade and I actually like and chose this job!
~ I collect lighthouses. I have at least 100 in my classroom alone! (Thank goodness for the drop-down cabinets in my classroom that hold all of them).
~ Blogging has been a HUGE therapy for me (even if only about 5 people read this) :) Love you all!

Ok, now, for the nominees:

Tiffany at "The Pifer's Journey through Infertility" She is a HUGE inspiration to me!

Kami at "The Life of Mimi" she has done some AMAZING things and just gave birth to beautiful twin girls!

And had Lori not already received this, I'd nominate her too! I love her caring, giving heart!

Please stop by and see all of them!
